The DuPont Identity: A vital key to understanding the Financial Markets . Friday, February 17th, 2012 “Knowledge is power.”  – Sir Francis Bacon We promised at the outset, to deliver an amusing, yet educational experience. On that note, we unveil today’s feature: The DuPont Analysis. DuPont deconstructs and reviews the components that encompass the essential view of a company’s health, its return on Equity (ROE). It was developed by DuPont in the 1920’s to help them manage their conglomerate, and it is brilliant! The inspiration to delve into this financial abstruse was the story of Billy Beane, as portrayed in Michael Lewis’ popular book, “Money Ball”. Beane, the general manager for the Oakland Athletics baseball team, discovers the usefulness of viewing major league prospects through the lens of statistical analysis that goes far beyond the normal batting and earned run average statistics.

We might be repeating the mistakes of the 1999 bubble and crash The stock market may be in danger of repeating some very bad history. The current market environment is looking a whole lot like the 1998-1999 stock market bubble, and the crash of 2000 may not be far behind, said Michael Hartnett of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "It could simply be 1998/99 all over again. After all, a 'speculative blow-off' in asset prices is one logical conclusion to a world dominated by central bank liquidity, technological disruption & wealth inequality," he wrote in a note Sunday. Hartnett, BAML's chief investment strategist, thinks the emerging-market problems and subsequent global response reflect a similar set of circumstances in the late 1990s. Here's the chain of events via Hartnett (emphasis added): Back then, as could be the case today, a bull market & a US-led economic recovery was rudely interrupted by a crisis in Emerging Markets. The cris...
